I used a technic that I like : the "false wood panel". "Musical Blooms" is perfect for this technic. I cut the paper in several strips that I distressed et inked before gluing them on another paper with a contrasting color...

To make my background, I applied a thin coat of gesso that I colored with some Twinkling H2O. Then, I stamped randomly around my page and around the gesso I applied. I used various colors: white gesso, teal chalk ink, black Archival ink. To remind the sand in the photo, I added some microbeads and to finish some splatters of black Gesso and de Izink here and there.
